Compared to previous Apple products, the new iPhone 7 brings seven major changes, including jet black color, headphone jack, waterproof, home button, dual cameras, new CPU, and longer battery life.
First of all, the most obvious feature of this new iPhone 7 is the jet black body color. A pristine mirror-like surface and high-gloss finish make it look eye-catching and remarkable. Through a nine-step precision anodizing and polishing process, its surface is as hard as other Apple anodized products. However, it will scratch more easily and the finish is also particularly prone to fingerprints.
Second, the Lightning port has been replaced with the original headphone jack. Apple advertises that this design has two advantages: freeing up space and a better connector for audio. In my opinion, the real purpose of Apple is to promote its new Airpods wireless headphones.
Third, it has the waterproof. The completely redesigned case makes the new iPhone has the waterproof function as well as the protection against spills, splashes and dust.
Fourth, the mechanical start button has been replaced with a static, force-sensitive version. Using Apple’s Taptic Engine to click users, this new design provides a pretty good user experience.
Fifth, the upgraded dual cameras offer a pleasant shooting experience. It comes with a 7-megapixel front camera with automatic image stabilization for a better selfie and a 12-megapixel rear camera. Most importantly, it has an improved sensor and a lens that opens up to f1.8 (previously it was f2.2). That means much better night shots.
The sixth change of this new product is the CPU configuration. The new iPhone is powered by an amazing new A10 Fusion SoC. Compared to the previous A9 chip, this new one works 40% faster. Apple says it’s the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone.
Lastly, it provides longer battery life than previous Apple products. In other words, the battery in this new one is the longest lasting of all Apple products. Compared to your previous iPhone 6s product, it will last at least 2 hours longer during daily use.
Honestly, I like the new waterproof feature changes, powerful CPU configuration and longer battery life. On the contrary, I think I will be annoyed that it has the only port for charging and use as a headphone jack. That means I can’t listen to songs while charging.
